If you want people to start using EU cop instead of US corps, then the service provided needs to be matching what's offered by Amazon. Google and so on. The problem is that the EU does not put enough money for these systems to be started in the first place.
Look at this snippet:
The European Commission approved on Tuesday up to 1.2 billion euros ($1.30 billion) of state aid for a European cloud computing project to try to boost the involvement of EU business in a field dominated by U.S. companies.
1.2 B is nothing compared to what the US giants are investing each year in their services. How can EU corps expect to compete like this? it's like high-shool team competing against Olympians.
